Sydney healthcare clinicians turn to data analytics to improve back pain treatments
Summary
Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) has developed an app using data analytics to help healthcare professionals in New South Wales treat lower back pain. We know from our literature and clinical practice that there seems to be a high rate of opioid use, and that was a concern for us…so we thought if we bring the right people together we could do something on a big scale," said director of Rheumatology at RPA Hospital, Bethan Richards, who also lead the design of the STARS back pain app. " In a separate announcement, the Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) said it worked with Taysols to upgrade its corporate information warehouse, as part of a wider project to implement a new case management system, ChildStory. "Access to better data and insights is an essential component of the ChildStory program, making the CIW mission-critical for FACS," Taysols founder and director Mark Taylor said. With Taysols focus on delivering high-quality outcomes, weve been able to help FACS evolve their team on the ground with ongoing support along with system analysis, development, testing and deployment.
